I liked the clear and good structure it had, the fact that notes/labs are frequently updated, and the overall clean and light interface of the platform.

The labs and the hands-on exercises are very very good. In general it's a good mix between theory and practical hands-on exercises.

Focused content. Kubernetes is a huge huge platform, and even after working with it for a while, it can still seem like a black box. This course has definitely helped me understand how the pieces fit together.
